13 changing to 44 (Lines 1 & 2) - question on legal abuse & corruption

[eirini]

Hi everyone! I have an issue: A relative has binded me to a three-year contract on a house whose I am the inheritor. The contract was made not by me, but by a relative (two days before her passing). The money I receive each month is ridiculous, and now, since I am the owner, she even asks me to pay for house damages (water pipes etc.). I may even have financial damage from that!
Now this woman who stays there and binded me to the 3-year contract (ends 2026) has connections with corrupt politicians, and I am afraid to negotiate (afraid for my life and freelance business).
I thought I could negotiate, or maybe just let things be until contact ends and she leaves. I got this reply - 13 changing to 44, lines 1 and 2. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Eirini...I wonder if this has gone unanswered because it's confusing. May we try to clear it up?

For instance, I don't understand how someone can leave you a house in her will, that you can't afford to take care of, without giving you money to take care of it with, and bind you to this for 3 years. I don't know anything about wills, but I didn't think they were binding contracts - ?

Second, I'm confused about who this contract is with. Your deceased relative -

A relative has binded me to a three-year contract on a house whose I am the inheritor. The contract was made not by me, but by a relative (two days before her passing).

- or some other person who still lives there:

Now this woman who stays there and binded me to the 3-year contract

Next, what was the exact question you asked? That is usually important to know.

13.1.2 to 44...
The 44 seems apparent: this hugely disruptive thing has landed in your lap against your will and you don't know what to do with it.

13 - the reading is about you trying to create harmony with this. Gulp.

Lines 1 and 2 - how exactly this state of affairs plays out:
'People in harmony at the gate.
Not a mistake.'
'People in harmony at the ancestral temple.
Shame.'

Without understanding the situation better, all I can think of is at line 1 you're only at the gate, it's only the beginning, you haven't actually left yet. Are you absolutely sure you're as bound to this as you think?

Line 2 - "ancestral temple" makes me think of your relative's will. Any chance you or others are worshipping or idealizing it too much?

That sounds bad, but I'm getting it from the "temple" in the line. People in temples aren't inclined to question them - temples are for worshipping, after all. That's the point of them, and usually it's a good, uplifting attitude.

But you do have to make sure the temple you're in is worthy of being worshipped. Some aren't. 13.2 says "shame," as if this particular ancestral temple isn't worthy. Again I wonder if the will is as binding as you think.

But again I don't understand a lot of the facts.
